  • Title: [Treatment of acute otitis media: comparative study of efficacy of cefatrizine and amoxicillin-clavulanic acid].
    Author: Chomarat M, Dubreuil C.
    Journal: Pathol Biol (Paris); 1991 May; 39(5):555-7. PubMed ID: 1881694.
    Abstract:
    Fourty hospitalized patients (15 children, 25 adults) suffering from acute otitis media have been treated with either cefatrizine or amoxycillin-clavulanic acid. Bacteriological samples were done during surgery by tympanocentesis (N = 33) or by sampling of middle ear fluid specimens (13). H. influenzae was the most common isolate, following by Enterobacteriaceae, S. aureus, P. aeruginosa, and S. pneumoniae. We conclude that these two antibiotics can be used for treatment of acute otitis media in our country even in adults where the order of frequency of bacteria is different from those reported in children.
